Portion of Lake Drive to close

The town of Laurel Park has contracted to replace the culvert that runs underneath Lake Drive between 45 & 49 Lake Drive, where the stream enters Rhododendron Lake Park. The work is scheduled to begin on Wednesday, weather permitting.

A “road closed” sign will be placed at each of the affected blocks on Lake Drive. Residents will be able to enter at each end of Lake Drive, but won't be able to travel the full length of the road.

The section will be closed for two or three says, with completion expected in about six or seven days. Town officials urge people to use caution in the work area.

Members sought for symphony committee

Hendersonville Symphony Orchestra is seeking dedicated, energetic and passionate people willing to serve for one year on a committee charged with supporting, strengthening and enhancing the effectiveness of the orchestra.

If you've always wanted to learn more about the symphony, have a knack for party planning and celebrations, the League could be a good fit. In addition to presenting a five-concert season, the orchestra has, for 42 years, made significant contributions to the community in the form of providing young people with performance opportunities, scholarships, musical enrichment and educational programs.

The League provides an opportunity to become a part of a dedicated group of volunteers and supporters who give their time, energy, and talent to ensure that the HSO continues to thrive for the enjoyment of the community.

A member party is scheduled for Nov. 20, and new members are invited.

To sign up or get more information, contact Sandy Hastie, League president, at hastiew60@gmail.com or Donna Hastie, volunteer coordinator, at hastiedj@bellsouth.net; phone 828-696-0703.
